it simply demonstrates that there is a ton of room for composites in guitar construction. We're not there yet.
Consider "Bcomp Amplitex", epoxy impregnated Flax fabric that serves as a "natural" alternative to carbon graphite.

It's already seen in the guitar world in the offerings from Blackbird guitars. (Blackbird has named their linen (flax) epoxy material "Ekoa".)

Do check out some of the high end uses for this product. I think the natural fiber composites hold a ton of promise for guitars and other instruments.
